Henrietta is a lovely property and the hosts Paula and Paul were super friendly. They live on site and are available but leave you to your privacy. It's so peaceful.The area is gorgeous with a short walk to the cove and the Cove Inn which had friendly staff and tasty food. The fresh mussels were amazing! Be prepared for the steep walk back up to the property but it was definitely worth it (on more than one occasion). One thing to be aware of is that mobile signals and wifi signals can be limited. Helps with the peace and quiet though! Oh and the pub has free wifi - just saying! Finally, the bed is the most comfy ever, we slept so well every night! I would highly recommend Henrietta. You will have a lovely time.

This was such a unique place to stay and was spotlessly clean. The carriage and train-themed bits and bobs were truely special. So much thought and care had gone into making us feel welcome. We had a lovely stay. The local area is extremely picturesque too. We felt really comfortable.

Fabulous gem of a place

Cute to be staying in a converted railway carriage. Cosy, spotless and perfect. So easy to walk into Cadgwith as well plus two minutes from the coast path.

About the host

Host profile image
We have lived here for 20 years with our 3 children, goats ducks and chickens, and couldn't live anywhere else!!!!

Why they chose this property

We had fallen in love with Cadgwith 35 years ago and had to live here. With direct access to the coast path, quiet, but within walking distance to the cove, beach & Pub. The cove does not change, and is an authentic fishing community seldom found in Cornwall anymore.

What makes this property unique

Access to SW coast path, and short walk to beach, pub & cafe and fresh crab & lobster shops.
